Gwen stares at a old white lodge. Looking haunting and uninviting in the night. Nature reclaiming it inch by inch. Starting with the front four pillars. Leaning against a tree she breaths in deep. Random gust of chilly wind gliding across her skin. Silently Gwen waits for Damon and Bonnie to show. Trying not remember Trent's body next to Jules, the werewolf and a male vampire with brown hair. All unmoving on the ground, empty eyes wide open.

Gwen moves from the tree as they appears before her. Bonnie quickly moves out of Dons hold As if he was infected wit a contiguous disease.

"Where are we?" Gwen asks.

Bonnie answers, " Where the witches who gave me more power were burnt"

No wonder why it feels so cold,Another guts of wind hits her. Unconsciously Gwen hand finds her necklace. Fingers grazing it, reassuring her mind it's there.

"You okay?" Damon questions her.

With nod Gwen lets her hand fall, feet heading for the old white lodge. Damon a steady presence behind her. Bonnie While Bonnie stays at Gwen's side as they step inside. Eyes falling on Elena unmoving on a sofa. The only furniture besides a table. In the medium-sized empty square room. Stefan kneeling beside Elena looks up. Quickly he gets up eyes widening at Gwen's torn shirt, the dried blood on her skin and hands.

"What happened?" Stefan asks.

Gwen shrugs, "Just a minor cut"

"Elijah didn't kill Klaus. He took off with him before I could," Bonnie informs Stefan.

Damon is quick to add, "Told you we couldn't trust him."

Ignoring Stefan's curse of anger Gwen hands her necklace to Damon. Then walks to Elena and kneels. Taking out a small pocket knife from her pant pocket. Gwen makes a small cut to her thumb. Quickly creating drawing a bloody pentagram on Elena's palm. Then, with another cut, drawing a bloody pentagram on her own palm. Ignoring the chilling breeze surrounding them. Gwen grasps Elena's hand. Their bloody pentagrams touching. Chanting Latin in a hushed tone, eyes closed. Gwen calls to Elena loudly in her mind. Not fighting the heat from within leaving, her magic. Rushing into Elena as their hands dimly glow.

White veins grow on Elena's chest starting from her heart. While black ones claim Gwen's chest. The glow getting stronger second by second. As fatigue washes over Gwen. The cold now settling deep in her bones. The glow flares into a bright intense light and quickly disappears. Elena releases a breath, eyes slowly open. Elena shifts her gaze to Gwen. Squeezing Gwen's hand she thanks her. They share a smile as Stefan rushes over, relief all over his face. Stefan pulls Elena into a tight hug. Fighting the blackness threatening her vision. Gwen releases Elena's hand, stands and steps back. Giving Elena and Stefan space.

Only for Bonnie to pull her into a hug, whispering "Thank you."

"No problem," Gwen answers.

Smiling Bonnie joins Stefan and Elena. Damon appears by Gwen's side. If she had looked in in that second. She would find him looking upon her face with amazement. Instead she finds his guarded eyes, "I'm sorry for doubting you," he apologizes.

"I might forgive you," Gwen states.

Fighting the urge to smile for only a moment. Before giving Damon a huge grin. One that he quickly returns. Within seconds Gwen can no longer fight. Her vision fading to black, eye lids falling closed. Last thing she sees is Damon worried face.

Gwen wakes to faint agurging voices. Sunlight streaming in through a window. Groaning she opens her eyes. Finding herself in her room. Pushing off the bed Gwen follows the voices. Her soar tired body ending up on the stairs leading to the basement cellar. Where she finds Stefan locking the heavy cellar door.

Face twisted in anger as he shouts, "You are not dying today!"

Damon releases a bitter chuckle, "Always the hero Stefan. So what is the plan? Gonna find some miracle cure? Same me from the same fate as Rose?"

Rose? What is he talking about? She died from a...

Gwen knees almost give out. As a light bulb clicks in her brain. Her voice a whisper as she unknowingly speaks out loud, "A werewolf bite."

Both brothers end their arguing. Eyes focusing on her. Pity and fear in Stefan's, regret in Damon's. Until Damon coughing breaks the strained silence. Blood coming from his mouth. As he doubles over in pain, hands clutching stomach.

"Lie still and conserve your strength," Stefan commands.

Gently Stefan guides Gwen by the elbow. Letting go when they step into the palour, "He won't die, I promise," Stefan says.

Gwen nods unsure what to say, to feel. Stefan pulls her into a hug. Resting his cheek on her head. As Gwen's arm wrap around his waist. Giving her moment of comfort, a hope that everything will be fine. Just like in the past. Stefan lets Gwen decided when to pull away. After she pulls away Stefan reaches into his pant pocket. Pulling out a familiar bottle of purple liquid.

"Elijah gave it to me after I called you. Said once we took care of Klaus he was leaving town. And to give this to you because a deal is a deal," Stefan explains before asking, "What is it?"

"A very powerful memory potion," Gwen answers while he handed it to her, "Will give back all memories I forgot or was forced to forget."

"I can stay with you."

Gwen shakes her head, "No its okay. You find a way to cure Damon, besides I don't know if I'm gonna take it."

Now that I have no reason to want the crystal.

With a okay from Stefan they part ways. Gwen heading for her unofficial room. Sitting on her bed, Gwen stares at the tube. Battling with herself to take it or not. In the end giving into her curiosity. And letting the liquid slide down her throat. Letting her body fall and eyes close.

Gwen lands in a small shop. Watching her teenage self nervously look around. Her mother standing next to teenage Gwen. Face for once not stern, but full of worry. They face a women. Dressed in a simple blue gown, black hair in a bun.

"We can't keep doing this," The women informs Gwen's mother.

Her mothers voice is desperate, "Please Pearl, you have helped us before."

"When she was a child. Too young for her responsibility, but now she can face it," Pearl face turns sympathetic, "I can not compell her to forget every time a ghost reveal themselves. With her power growing it would be multiple times a day. Are you really willing to risk damaging her mind."

"No, I contacted a old friend and she is arriving tomorrow with a bracelet, " Her mothers voice turn hopeful, "Enchanted to keep the ghost away."

"Why not help your daughter find control?"

"Because they will kill her, drag her to what's after death. Just to get revenge on my family for they created," Gwen is stunned as tears leak out of her mother's eyes,I have never seen her cry in public, " Please help me one last time."

After a moment Pearl nods yes. Willing her tears away Gwen's mother turns to teenage Gwen. Giving a reassuring smile and grabbing her hand.

"Everything is going to be better now," Pulling Gwen close her mother kisses Gwen's forehead, "I have advise for you my dear. Advise I hope that will never be needed, but if you find yourself discovering dark secrets, remembering the burden I tried saving you from, trust in Charlotte, trust in the one who lips are sowed shut."

"Mother I down understand," Teenage Gwen says, confused eyes watching her mother back away.

"I hope you never will," Are the last words Gwen hears. Before Pearls dark eyes look into her own. Commanding Gwen to forget it all.

The memory fades away as Gwen is plunged into one after the other. Remembering all the times ghost, with holes in their chest, tried to end her life. Some yelling she must pay for her family's sins. Yet Gwen's unknown gaurdain angel stopping them. Charlotte with lips sown shut.

Gwen is thrown to another memory. Barley managing to keep herself from collapsing. Strength whipped out after being slammed with memory after memory. Immediately Gwen recognizes her temporary Salvatore boarding house her room. Confusion could her mind. As Gwen watches herself leave the bathroom. Looking tired and worn heading for bed.

"Gwen," Damon's voice cases both Gwen's to turn around. Unsure eyes closely watching him step closer, "Figured you would want this back."

Bring his hand Damon reveals Gwen's necklace, Why would he want me to forget this?

"Oh my god, yes," Past Gwen exclaims, closing the gab between her and Damon, "Thank you, but how? It was stuck in that well full of vervain."

Damon shrugs, "Might have got some local help," past Gwen narrows her eyes, "Don't worry whipped their memory and sent them on home without any injuries," Relaxing past Gwen reaches for her necklace. Only for Damon to pull it out of reach. Before Past Gwen can speak Damon makes a confession, "I love you."

Damon quickly continues before Gwen can speak, "I'm sorry for screwing it all up. For wasting my time with Katherine," Damon breaths in deep, "I have this hole inside. Ever since you died and been trying to close it. With Katherine, anger and shutting my emotions off. None of it worked...because the only time I feel whole is with you. Nothing can change that, not time, Katherine or anybody else... I love you Gwen."

His tone is a soft whisper, eyes full of love. Gwen's heart is a mass of pain and joy. As she watches Damon lean in. Connecting his lips to hers for a second of bliss. Pulling back to look at past Gwen, pain in his eyes.

"But I can't be selfish with you," He announces, "Not after what I did, how I hurt you," His voice is a whisper again, "You deserve better. So I'm letting you go, even if it's away from me."

Gwen watches Damon compels her to forget. Even more confused with her own feelings. Gwen is pushed back into reality. Shooting up in bed Gwen breaths heavy. Fingers tracing her parted lips. Still stuck on Damon's kiss. Remembering how right it felt, the disappointment at him pulling away.

Until Stefan steps into her room, "I need your help to save Damon."

After reassurances Alaric can handle watching over Damon. Gwen allows Stefan to drive her to the witches house. Where she brought Elena back to life. Nervously Gwen chews on her lip. As they step inside to find Bonnie waiting.

"Thought they might be more willing to trust you with me here," Bonnie explains.

Nodding Gwen reluctantly hands Stefan her necklace. Stepping father into the room, eyes closed. Calling forth the spirits that reside here. Immediately Gwen is surrounded by stern faces. All dressed in century old clothes. One in a grey plan dress, bonnet and dark skin, steps forward.

Emily Bennett, Katherine's handmaid.

"Why have you come here," Emily asks.

"For help, to ask if there is a cure for a werewolf bite," Gwen answers. Emily remains silent, "Please Stefan's brother my friend is dying," Gwen's eyes scan the ghostly faces, demanding, "If any of you know something tell me."

"Perhaps it is his time to die," Emily remarks, "We will not give you what you want."

Oh yes you will, Hot fury erupts in Gwen's veins, "You can not hold information from me. And I will not let you punish Damon," Gwen lifts hand up, arm straight, palm facing Emily, "Tell me or your soul burns.

Emily twitches as her skin starts to smoke, "We are witches child, you don't have enough power to take us all on."

Gwen answers Emily's taunt by focusing harder. Screams fill Gwen's ear as Emily and a few others skin burns. Glowing red underneath and smoking.

"Bonnie!" Stefan's shouts distracts Gwen.

Looking behind Gwen finds Bonnie on the ground. Screaming and clutching her head. Faint whispers replace the screams. As Gwen drops her hand Bonnie stops screaming.

"I'm okay, " Bonnie confirms while letting Stefan help her stand, "Think they might have been angry we asked for help."

"I did manage to get something, they whispered a name, Klaus," Gwen informs them, dread filling her heart.

The last person who would want to help us.

Before Stefan can speak his phone rings. Gwen's dread only grows at his panicked face. Hanging up Stefan looks into her eyes, "Damon got out of the cellar."

Next Friday is the last chapter!!!
